Twitch is trash. Everywhere I've been, 1080p isn't stable. As soon as I switch over to youtube, 1080p works fine. And their stupid "loading stream UwU" screen when loading it on another page is just annoying.
It also misses the absolutely basic feature or scrubbing - I can't rewind or click back to a previous point in the stream - no. For that, the stream has to have recording activated, then you need to know of
/videoson the streamer's page, and finally you can open the "recording". And because it's a recording, you can't "go to live". It jumps back to the very beginning of the stream when it gets to the end "end of the recording", which is whenever you opened it --> opened it 1 hour ago? Once it hits that point again, (no, notlive - 1hourbutlive - 2 hours), it reloads and now you have to remember that it waslive - 2 hours.It's just shit.
There's no excuse for it being that bad either. The parent company literally runs one of the biggest cloud/CDNs in the world (AWS).
